"Oh, you're back." The empress was talking to Lan Nuoling, and when she saw Xu Tianze coming over, she laughed out loud.
Xu Tianze looked up and saw that the empress's body stiffened. He looked around and found that there were no eunuchs or palace maids at all. Only then did he feel relieved.
He originally thought that he was too engrossed in his thoughts and didn't notice that the empress had come to their courtyard. It turned out that the empress didn't bring too many people with her, so naturally there was no one to stop him, so he was able to walk in so smoothly.
"Don't look. This is my order. If you come back, there is no need to stop you." The empress knew what was going on as soon as she saw Xu Tianze's reaction.
She felt a little amused. Generally speaking, she should have brought more people with her, especially since she was a double-bodied person. But after thinking about where she came from, she gave up.
A Ling's martial arts skills are also very high, and Xu Tianze is also here. If there is any poison or miscarriage, Xu Tianze can also detect it. It can be said that martial arts, medicine and poison are all waiting in front of him.
There is no need to bother so many people anymore. If it is still difficult to defend, then she can only admit defeat, which means it is really the end.
"Greetings, Empress. I wonder what instructions you have?" Xu Tianze put away the surprise on his face, walked into the room properly and bowed to the Empress.
"All of you leave." Lan Nuoling saw the empress signaling to her, she nodded and sent everyone away.
Seeing this, Xu Tianze stood up on his own and found a seat to sit down. Since there were no outsiders here, it was not necessary to observe some formalities.
The empress seemed to be in an especially good mood today. Seeing this, she was not annoyed at all. She was in the mood to joke with Lan Nuoling: "A Ling, look at him. Now that his son is alone, he knows that he has disobeyed orders and got up."
"Your Majesty, how dare you talk about him? I don't know who sent the person out just now, but he just kept drinking that pot of chicken soup." Lan Nuoling didn't respond, and his voice became resentful.
Yesterday, she had listened to her younger brother and waited until the fire in the stove went out before lifting the lid of the pot. However, her own Majesty saw it and took away everything, leaving only one chicken leg for her.
She had no choice but to ask her younger brother to make her another pot today, thinking that no one would snatch it from her this time. However, it was as if her own emperor was waiting for this time on purpose. As soon as she opened the lid of the pot, her own emperor said that he smelled the fragrance.
Then he took the pot of mushroom chicken soup for himself. If I hadn't refused to give in, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to drink the soup this time.
Empress:...
She had lost her appetite due to the hot summer weather, and even though it had been raining a lot recently, it hadn't improved much. Then she heard that Lan Nuoling and her brother were picking mushrooms, and thinking of Xu Tianze's good skills, she naturally wanted to go and take a look.
As it turned out, it was indeed appropriate for her to come. After returning home yesterday, she had a full meal and slept very soundly. She came here on purpose today.
But she couldn't say these things directly, after all, she still had to save some face.
Xu Tianze was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the empress was just a coincidence yesterday, but now he looked again and realized that it was not a coincidence at all. It was obvious that she had been watching over him.
"Your Majesty, you'd better not be greedy. I also added last year's dried bamboo shoots and some medicinal herbs to the mushrooms. It is not suitable for pregnant women to eat too much." Xu Tianze shook his head, finding it quite funny.
It really proves what my mother said, that most people in this world, whether men or women, are greedy. If they don’t show it, it only means that the food has not reached their hearts.
Empress:...
"I came here today for other things." The empress straightened her expression and tried to make excuses. "I think you have met him. What are your plans?"
Xu Tianze understood in his heart that it seemed that Long Mujiang's visit to him was something they had discussed. Now that the empress was waiting here, she probably wanted to test his attitude, and also to prevent Long Mujiang from really dying in his hands.
"What does Your Majesty want to do now?" Xu Tianze looked up and looked directly at the empress.
Sometimes he thought this group of people was really funny. They were clearly trying to persuade him to let it go and knew that he had no chance of revenge, but everyone brought it up deliberately to remind him all the time.
"Brother, that's not what I meant." The Empress sighed, her expression somewhat complicated. "We are all just pawns on the chessboard. We've even been brothers and sisters linked by fate. Do we really have to fight to the death in the end?"
In the eyes of the empress, all of them are helpless and everyone's identity is related to each other. There is nothing wrong with saying that they are brothers and sisters.
In the current situation, there is no need to create a life-and-death situation. This is why neither she nor Long Mujiang used the power in their hands to deal with Xu Tianze.
Why should a poor person make things difficult for another poor person?
"Everyone knows that Xu Tianze has no way to take revenge because the real root cause is already dead." Xu Tianze closed his eyes, feeling confused and bitter in his heart.
Maybe he should have had a talk a long time ago, let everything out, because maybe he should let it go.
"Emperor Gan, Xu Li, or even Song Zhenjiang, who died at my hands in repentance, they all asked me to avenge them from the very beginning." Xu Tianze opened his eyes, and all his previous disguises were removed, leaving only the vicissitudes of life. "You all have your own value, more or less, but I was a discarded pawn from the beginning."
When the Empress and Lan Nuoling saw Xu Tianze let down his guard, they felt a pang of sadness in their hearts, because they knew what Xu Tianze said was true.
They may just be chess pieces, but Xu Tianze himself was a discarded pawn from the very beginning, a pawn that he cultivated with all his strength but was afraid of being out of control.
"We never felt that anyone was valuable or a pawn. All we had were feelings about the world, and a hint of..." I don't know how to express the complexity.
Because compared to Xu Tianze, they can be said to be vested interests and have no qualifications to judge right or wrong. Only Xu Tianze is the one who has not gained any benefits from the beginning to the end.
What is circulating in the streets and alleys of Gan Kingdom now are all insults against Xu Tianze, calling him ungrateful, ungrateful, unworthy of being a member of the Xu family, and how he seduced the current Emperor Gan and walked a fine line between the Duke of Zhenguo, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince.
It can be said that there are so many random things that they are enough to compile a book and make it a bad name for itself.
Even in the dark of Minglan Country, all kinds of negative news about Xu Tianze were circulating.
